Strange things are happening in Magaluf: the smell of piss and blood, police cars and ambulances cruising up and down the streets with no one paying them any mind, people shouting in the middle of the night… Magaluf is just a small, peaceful town on the island of Mallorca that many have ventured to call the Balearic Twin Peaks. Its residents are torn between an everyday aura of doom and genuine holiday pleasure, a place that has become the European paradigm of low-cost tourism based on insatiable nightly entertainment. A million tourists invade the streets of Magaluf every summer, as if they were specters transforming public spaces into a theme park where almost anything goes. Meanwhile, Magaluf\u2019s residents try to coexist with the contradictions of this model of tourism that feels like an invasion but that also generates millions of euros for the catering industry, workplaces and opportunities for many people who wouldn\u2019t be able to survive anywhere else without Magaluf\u2019s characteristics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"menu_order":67,"template":"","productioncategory":[25],"yoast_head":"\n
